Today was a Good Day

Two posts in the same week! Look at me go :)

Today was a good day.

Let me tell you why.

1. I got to sleep in

(Always a blessing for me)

2. I made french press this morning

(Rocked my world.)

3. I had the house to myself for my devotions

(Nice and quiet, not to mention I got to use my new Bible)

4. I went to the Farmer's Market with my Dad

(Fresh Peaches. Need I say more? yummmm....)

5. I got to be a hair model for my wonderful friend's portfolio

(So Fun.)

For that last part of my day, I not only got to get all dolled up, but I got to spend many hours with some of my best friends. While spending all that time with my beautiful friends (yes, they are all actually quite beautiful), I realized how blessed I am to have them in my life.

I know they're always there for me, and that I can truly be myself when I'm with them. They love me for who I am, and despite my many faults they are still my friends (what patient and loyal friends I have).

Anyway, all I can say is that the Lord has truly provided for me through my friends. They encourage me, get excited for me, pray for me (all that jazz).

And guys, let me tell ya, He desires that for you too.

And so do I.

I encourage all of you not to settle for friendships where you can't be yourself, where you aren't encouraged, where you feel undervalued.

It's not worth it....trust me.

Instead, bring it to the Lord. He is faithful to provide for those who love Him. He will send friends to encourage you and point you back to the Ultimate Friend found only in Jesus.

Friend, you are worthy of more than just conditional acquaintances.

Don't settle for less.

I hope your day was as good as mine!

Happy Weekend! :)
